Inventing the Future

People have developed technological solutions to solve the problems of measuring time and navigation, and innovators continue to address new challenges.

Early inventors sometimes worked independently to advance the measurement of time or position. At other times, teams of experts and engineers have worked together to develop devices and systems that help people find their way. The process continues. New solutions continue to be developed, pushing forward the frontiers of time and navigation. New innovations provide enhanced reliability and new capabilities, such as indoor navigation.
